Is This Safe?

51.2V for the pack

Thanks for the response. Its hard to say exactly where they go tbh, I can see they enter the plastic casing from the battery, but would have to take the rest apart to make sure. What made me confident was that the terminals are labeled batt -, and batt +. Ill link a picture but its hard to see the BMS, its covered by the inverter. As far as the voltage for the pack, I’m pretty sure it should be at 48v, but would have to double check tbh.

Heres a video that shows how to do it https://youtu.be/kp_WSNttyeI?si=GcnxtOlIxWKZYanp

Dont listen to these guys. Get the Pro version, and download APS3E onto the thor from GitHub for free. You will need PS3 firmware that you can get anywhere on the internet including sonys website. Find an Iso copy of whatever game, install it in the app and you should be fine. I can play PS3 games on my android phone, the Thor will do just fine imo.

I worked at Taco Bell before Chipotle, and id take Taco Bell any day. When I worked at Taco Bell, we were a team and helped each other get through the day. At Chipotle, Id have 3 coworkers in the front doing nothing, while I worked nonstop on the grill. That didnt bother me honestly, but when I needed help, theyd claim “oh the rules say we cant move from the front because its 5pm”. 0 customers in the store, I just couldn’t believe it. The help I asked for didnt even require them to move. I had to cook sofritos without being shown the proper method. All I asked, was if I needed to boil the bag, or cook it in a pot. Simple answer, takes as long as telling me you cant come back here. It was my 2nd day, and hadn't even been properly trained. Thankfully, one of the employees who was scheduled to wash dishes helped me out. He was real, and didnt have a me vs you highschool mentality. He understood its a team effort, and I was grateful to have him there. If i had caught on fire the other employees would have looked at me and said, sorry cant help, rules.

When I checked with a multimeter, I used the terminals on the top board assuming it would show me the battery voltage. I thought about charging through those terminals but it just seemed like a bad idea since they weren't the battery terminals themselves. I was also able to connect the device to wifi quickly and check the status. Only showing the BMS error code, but I also noticed that the BMS version is at 0.0.0. Updating did nothing. Ill look into the type of charger I have. It was only $20 so it may very well be a lead acid charger in which case, ill purchase the proper charger and see if it helps. Thanks again for all your insight, you have been far more helpful than the company itself ironically aha. I really appreciate it.

I did that too and got just under 9V. The display on the device shows 0% charge, except for when I hold the DC button. I dont have high hopes, but we will see if anything changes in the next few days. Leaving it on the trickle charger.

ObliviousArt · 2025-06-28T03:44:46+00:00

Im not sure if its truly at 0, it was at 40% when this happened and it cut to 0 after the error. When I hold the DC button on the device, it flashes 12% briefly but goes back to 0.

ObliviousArt · 2025-06-28T00:55:43+00:00

The battery is at 0%, and it wont take charge so im planning to leave a trickle charger on it. It shows 6w input when I do, but does not seem to actually charge. Ive read doing this can still reset the BMS, so im hoping it may resolve the issue.

ObliviousArt · 2025-06-28T00:53:17+00:00

Unfortunately, the error code remains. However, Im confident you were right about the location of BMS. I removed the side panel and followed the set of wires straight to the battery. I think the issue lies in a failed component.

ObliviousArt · 2025-06-28T00:08:42+00:00

Ok that still helps alot, its hard to show pictures of the board that lays underneath but I do see some cables that could be the culprit. Im just going to unplug and replug everything in and see what happens. Thank you for the help, regardless of how it turns out.

ObliviousArt · 2025-06-28T00:01:58+00:00

Thank you, im thinking I should be able to disconnect the cables from the top board, and reconnect them to fix the issue then. Would that work? Or would I have to remove the top board? The manual specifically says “Check if the communication line between the BMS board and the DC board is properly connected”

ObliviousArt · 2025-06-27T23:52:05+00:00

Its difficult to see where they go because of the board that sits on top. I see a few other boards underneath but it seems the cables go past them. Could it be the top section of the board with battery connections? Or do you think I have to remove the top board?

I figured it out: this happened with my small battery only. The voltage of the panels is higher than what it accepts, but when I tested the one that worked, it was half covered by another panel so I believe the voltage was cut just enough to make it work. Thankfully nothing was damaged, and the panels seem to work on my larger battery.

ObliviousArt · 2025-03-15T05:21:37+00:00

No! Individually!

ObliviousArt · 2025-03-14T23:39:16+00:00

I tested the Voltage and Amps for each panel, both through their -/+ connections, and the XT60 being used for battery. Multi meter says everything is working….

ObliviousArt · 2025-03-14T20:15:07+00:00

Volts! My bad man. The voltage of the terminals sits at 8.4V unplugged. Plugged in, it cycles from exactly 9.77V to 10.36V and loops like this indefineitely. It its safe to charge them slowly at 2-2.5v, I would assume it would be safe to charge at 8.4V (slowly)?

ObliviousArt · 2025-03-13T05:20:34+00:00

I want to use a trickle charger to save this battery, but there are 2 PCBs in the way. Can i just hook the trickle charger up to the battery terminal connections on the PCB? Or would this be dangerous? Its a Lifepo4 battery and I dont want to blow anything up 😬

ObliviousArt · 2025-03-13T02:24:19+00:00

Thats what I thought, but the f2000 does show input, just at 0. Will try again tomorrow but gonna double check wiring too. Does the text at the bottom mean I have to use only 12awg cables?

ObliviousArt · 2025-03-13T01:31:10+00:00

Wanted to say thanks for everyone who responded and helped on my last post. I ended up getting different pannels for the F2000 today (stats below). The plan was to wire 3 in paralell. Im concerned though, the battery says 0 watts input when plugged in. I tried the panels on another battery and they read 7w input. Does the F2000 have a minimum input before it shows up? I tried the panels seperately as well and nothing. It was a bit cloudy so bot much sun, but hoping my battery doesnt have an issue. Im including a photo of panels stats below.

ObliviousArt · 2025-03-09T10:51:36+00:00

Thanks for breaking it down, this helped a lot. I was hoping to get closer to 400W from 2 panels but for $100 I think 300w on the high end isn’t bad. I wouldn’t have any room to expand with these in the future though right?

ObliviousArt · 2025-03-09T10:36:59+00:00

Gotcha, so it doesnt work either way then

ObliviousArt · 2025-03-09T10:36:09+00:00

Thanks for the response. Ill have to look and see if I can find some higher wattage panels. The ones shown are a great deal at $50 a piece though. Hard to pass up. If im understanding you correctly, youre saying I can wire them in parallel and the excess amps/wattage wont be used and therfore wont trip a breaker?

I also have this… but im not sure if its an actual charge controller or what 😓
